Commercial Real Estate properties:

• Save $.50 sq/ft (on average)

• Consume 35% less energy

AND

• Savings persist over time

• Occupancy/tenant retention is higher

• Savings leveraged into higher asset value upon disposition

What’s Driving Benchmarking?

• Energy costs

• Corporate citizenship and recognition

• Green buildings and GHG mitigation

• Utility programs and Incentives

• Federal government leasing requirements

• Energy disclosure legislation and regulation

14

Disclosure and Energy Benchmarking

Purpose of disclosure:•Increase transparency of building performance•Encourage energy efficiency improvements in buildings•Grow clean energy job market

Tool: Portfolio Manager is the standard
